If you read the local carlisle newspapers (I picked up one last time I was there). The residents are up in arms about the shows disturbing them. Kids racing all over the place, people walking around drunk, all kinds of stuff.
The residents hate it, but thats the only thing the town has going for it.
It mine as well be east bumfuck because there is absolutely nothing else there. The highlight of the area besides the show is a truckstop.
Back when I was in college, my job sent me to meet with Tops (giant) at their corporate headquarters in carlisle. There is absolutely nothing to do there, we just ended up getting some beer and drinking at the motel. It was hard enough getting beer in PA, you have to buy it at a bar or a state run shop.

I think you missed my point. He compared it to Hamburg trying to kick out the RV show. My point was there no where near the same, because at the RV show you don’t have a bunch of asshats ripping around the town in their modified cars. AKA, I can completely understand the town of Carlisle wanting to kick the car show out, while I’d find it stupid if Hamburg did the same thing to the RV show.
So basically:
Group with a high percentage of asshats = Cops trying to run you out of town.
